AFS v. 257 ~ Electric Jellyfish live in Studio A!

This week in AFS, Electric Jellyfish from Melbourne, Australia, begin their U.S. tour. In 2008, this band was among the very best bands I saw all year (including bands such as Thee Oh Sees, The Mayyors, The Hunches, Box Elders, etc.). DO NOT miss this band if they come through your area. See below playlist for their tour schedule...

Seriously, folks...Don't miss these guys! As a band from today's Australia, Electric Jellyfish carry the torch along with Eddy Current Suppression Ring lighting the way to a legendary story of distinctive rock 'n roll beginning with bands such as Radio Birdman, The Saints, X, the Birthday Party, feedtime, etc. Their sound is on par with The Wipers in their heyday...such daring emotional vulnerability, yet it's psych/punk that's sonically full-fledged, solid, walloping, and (to quote Monoshock (yet another peer in terms of quality) "philosophically Stoogely". Catch 'em on tour and bring some extra cash for their new self-titled 12" (limited to 220 hand-numbered copies for people who care for that more than actual music).
